- the multi-pack 30 can be used for many different products. However, it is useful in the marketing of soap bars. Although only three packages 40 , 42 , 44 of individually packaged products are illustrated, where soap bars are the product, the multi-pack 30 will have between 2 and 20 packages of individually packaged products. Of course, the multi-packs 30 are useful for products other than soap bars. Additionally, although only one column of packages 40 , 42 , 44 is illustrated, the multi-pack 30 may comprise more than one column of packages. There is a distinct advantage in not printing the paperboard material used to form the packages 40 , 42 , 44 . There is a savings in inks, and no need to put the paperboard material through one or more printing operations where each color usually requires a pass through a printing press. In addition, there are environmental advantages.
Abstract
A multi-pack of packages of individually packaged products wherein there is a plurality of products packaged in individual paperboard cartons, the paperboard cartons being devoid of applied indicia like printing or coloration applied to the paperboard prior to carton forming. There is no printing of logos, trademarks or other product information prior forming the carton. The cartons do have a product identification that is embossed or debossed into the paperboard material of the cartons. The individual cartons are placed in a stack of two to twenty or more cartons and wrapped with a thermoplastic film material. The thermoplastic film material contains the required product indicia like colors and other decoration and product logos and trademarks.
Description
- The present application claims the benefit of United States Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/970,230 filed on Sep. 5, 2007, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present application is directed to a multi-pack of individual product packages where the packages of the individual product packages do not contain any printed color decoration or other printed information derived from the carton blank, all such printed information and color decoration being on an outer wrapper of the multi-pack. More particularly the present invention is directed to a multi-pack of individual cartons, each containing a soap bar, the cartons having an embossed or debossed identification of the product but no printed color decoration or other printed information derived from the carton blank.
- It is common to package various products in multi-packs. A multi-pack is a plurality of individually packaged products that are bundled together and held in a wrapper material, such as a thin plastic material like shrink wrap, which is sealed to hold the bundled packaged products together until the wrapper is opened by the purchaser. These multi-packs are commonly used for relatively low value products such as soap bars. These are sold in bundles of from two to twenty or more individual cartons of soap bars. In many instances the multi-packs are just bundles of the products in the same package as they are sold individually. That is each individual package is color decorated and contains all of the printed information as to the product. In addition in many cases all of this same color decoration appears on the plastic wrapper material holding the bundle together. However, this requires the printing of the carton material as well as the relatively thin wrapper material. This increases the packaging cost.
- The prior art includes U.S. Application Publication 2003/0234199 which is directed to a discrete packaging technique. There is disclosed a double package where the outer film package will contain some general information as to the product and the inner individual packaged products will contain the specific information including the logos. This is particularly directed to feminine hygiene products. This technique requires the printing of colors and various information on both the outer film material and the inner individual packages of the double package. U.S. Pat. No. 5,411,140 discloses an embossed logo on a package that fits into a recess on another package. This will stabilize a stack of the products. U.S. Pat. No. 1,936,395 discloses the packaging of three soap bars. The soap bars are nested using concave/convex surfaces. The group of soap bars are bound together by a band of cellophane film. U.S. Pat. No. 3,283,992 discloses the embossing of bag film material to provide an anti-skid surface on the bag. In this way stacked bags are not likely to fall.
- The present invention provides for a more environmentally friendly package by making a package that is more recyclable. Unlike in the prior art, in the present invention the individual product packages, such as paperboard cartons, will not duplicate the product information on the wrapper material nor the color decoration that is on the wrapper material. This will make the individual product packages more recyclable and will lower the cost for the individual packaged product and for the multi-pack. There is no need to put the individual product package material, like the paperboard carton material, through a printing operation. In addition the identification of the product after the removal of the wrapper will be by an embossed or a debossed product name or logo in the individual product package material that is of a size and type that it is readily discernable to a person. This embossing or debossing can be accomplished at the same time that the individual product package material is being die cut to form a carton blank. This can be incorporated into a processing step that must be accomplished in order to make the carton.
- In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a multi-pack of packaged products contained within a wrapper comprising a plurality packaged products wherein the packages are devoid of any printing or any applied color derived from the carton blank, but with each package having a clearly discernable identification of the product embossed or debossed onto each package. The wrapper preferably substantially encloses the plurality of packaged products and has thereon the required product information, any printed color decoration and printed logos. The plurality of packaged products, preferably are packaged in a paperboard material with the individual product package being in the form of a carton. An identification of the packaged product is embossed or debossed into the paperboard material to give a clear indication of the product. A preferred embodiment is to have an embossed logo or product indicia on an upper surface of the individual package and a debossed logo or other product indicia on a lower surface of the individual package so that when the individual packages are stacked into a multi-pack, the embossed logo of one package will enter the debossed logo of another package to aid to stabilize the cartons in the multi-pack.
- The wrapper material preferably is a thermoplastic material with the thermoplastic being either a monolayer or a laminate Useful monolayer or laminate thermoplastic materials include polyethylenes and ethylene copolymers, polypropylenes and propylene copolymers, polyethylene terephthalates, vinyl polymers and copolymers and acrylic polymers and copolymers. The laminates include thermoplastic/paper laminates. A useful thermoplastic is biaxially oriented polypropylene.
- The method of packaging the plurality of products in a multi-pack comprises providing a sheet of paperboard material, in a single step forming the paperboard material into a carton blank and embossing and/or debossing the paperboard with a product identification/indicia, forming the paperboard blanks into cartons, filling each carton with a product, closing each carton, accumulating the cartons into at least one stack, providing a wrapper having thereon the required product information, any color decoration and printed logos, surrounding the at least one stack of cartons in the wrapper, and sealing the wrapper to substantially enclose the at least one stack of products. The paperboard embossing or debossing is accomplished at the same time as the sheet of paperboard material is formed into the carton blank. The blanks are formed by die cutting away edge material to form carton flaps that are folded over to fully enclose the carton. The preferred packaged product is a packaged soap bar. However, any other products that are marketed in substantially the same manner as soap bars can use the techniques of this invention to create packaging and manufacturing efficiencies.

- The invention streamlines and reduces the cost of the packaging of individual packaged products that are sold in multi-packs. The multi-pack is a plurality of individually packaged products that are over-wrapped together by in a wrapper material. The packaged products are preferably each packaged in a carton. The cartons are formed from a carton blank. The carton blank may have been supplied with a color, such as white, but there is no additional printing of one or more colors, logos, trademarks or other applied indicia of product information prior to the forming of the carton. Thus, the carton blanks are devoid of any applied indicia. The individual cartons after forming, filling and sealing may have production dates and codes stamped or laser printed onto the carton. However, this is minimal and in many instances is required to meet legal requirements. This is done whether or not the carton blank has been printed, and is not included in the term “applied indicia.”
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , there is illustrated a blank 10 for apackage 40 that can be packaged in a multi-pack. The blank 10 has atop surface 12 with depending side flaps 13 (a) and 13(b),first side surface 14 with depending side flaps 15(a) and 15(b),bottom surface 16 with side flaps 17(a) and 17(b),second side surface 18 with depending side flaps 19(a) and 19(b), and glue flap 20. On thetop surface 12 there is an embossed or debossedlogo 22 and on thebottom surface 16 there is an embossed or debossedlogo 23. It is preferred that when thelogo 22 is embossed that thelogo 23 be debossed and when thelogo 22 is debossed thelogo 23 is embossed. As discussed in more detail below, this provides for a degree on interlocking of thepackages 40 and the stabilizing of thepackage 40 before and after being over-wrapped. The flaps 17(a) and 17(b) can have an embossed or debossedlogo 24/25 as may be useful. As an alternative, the over-wrap 32 (seeFIG. 4 ) that holds the multi-pack together can have decoration and/or logos on the side surfaces which removes the need for logos on the flaps 17(a) and 17(b). - The carton blank 10 is preferably formed from a sheet of paperboard material of a width to form two to ten or more carton blank widths across the paperboard material. The length of the blank 10 lies in the direction of the length of the paperboard material. The paperboard material is taken from a supply roll and passed to a die cutter/embossing and debossing roller. This roller will trim off excess material to form the
flaps areas flaps blanks 10 to individual size and they are channeled to a blank holder/magazine for use. Thelogo package 40. There is no printing step between the paperboard being removed from the supply roll and passing to the die cutting/embossing and debossing roll. The produced carton blank 10 is devoid of any additional printing, applied color and applied indicia of product information. This reduces the cost of handling and printing thecarton blank 10. -
FIG. 2 shows thecarton blank 10 ofFIG. 1 folded to form thepackage 40. Thepackage 40 is generally rectangular in shape and comprises thetop surface 12 with the embossedlogo 22 discussed above. Thefirst side surface 14 does not carry a logo in this embodiment, however the invention is not so limited and thefirst side surface 14 may be embossed or debossed with a logo. The flap 17 (b) is shown with embossed or debossedlogo 24. The flap 13(b) underlays the flap 17(b) and is adhesively attached to flap 17(b). Thepackage 40 will also be referred to as the package of an individually packaged product because one or mole products (not visible) is/are inside of thepackage 40. Thepackage 40 may also be referred to as acarton 40 and it is not limited to the rectangular shape illustrated. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , there is shown a close-up view of section III-III ofFIG. 2 so that thelogo 22 on thetop surface 12 of thepackage 40 can be seen in more detail. Although illustrated as an embossedlogo 22 thelogo 22 may be debossed into thesurface 12 of the carton material. Thelogo 22 is raised above the original surface level of the carton blank 10 because it is embossed into the surface of thecarton blank 10. In embodiments where thelogo 22 is debossed, thelogo 22 would be lower that the original surface level of thecarton blank 10. When the same logo is on both thetop surface 12 and on thebottom surface 16, it is preferred that one be embossed and the other be debossed. In this way when the cartons/individually packaged products are stacked the embossing (i.e. raised surface portion) on onepackage 40 will enter into the debossing (i.e. lowered surface portion) of anotherpackage 40 and thus stabilize the stack of individually packaged products during the formation of the multi-pack and in the form of the multi-pack. Stated another way, when the packages are stacked to form themulti-pack 30 as inFIG. 4 , thelogo 23 of afirst package 40 will interlock with thelogo 22 of asecond package 42. Thelogo 23 of the second package will interlock with thelogo 22 of apackage carton 44. Thepackages logo 23 of afirst package 40 are in surface contact with the lateral surfaces of thelogo 22 of thesecond package 42. In embodiments where thelogo 23 is embossed and thelogo 22 is debossed, the raised surfaces of thelogo 23 slidably fit into the opening formed by the lower surfaces of thelogo 22. Of course, eitherlogo 22 orlogo 23 may be embossed or debossed. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , there is illustrated amulti-pack 30 withtop surface 36 andfront surface 35. Themulti-pack 30 comprises threepackages packages wrapper 32. Although thewrapper 32 substantially encloses thepackages wrapper 32 may be in the form of a band for example, so long as thepackages wrapper 32 in a stable manner. In such an embodiment, thewrapper 32 encloses the lateral sides of the stackedpackages top surface 36,front surface 35 and the opposing bottom and rear surfaces (not visible) of themultipack 30 would be covered by the wrapper, but the sides could remain entirely free ofwrapper 32 or could be partially covered by thewrapper 32. - On the
front surface 35 of themulti-pack 30 is alogo 34 and adesign 38. Thelogo 34 is printed onto themulti-pack wrapper 32 along with colors and other decoration on themulti-pack wrapper 32. She stipling represents on the top and front surfaces represent a coloration of themulti-pack wrapper 32. Thepackage 40 has alogo 41,package 42 has alogo 43 andpackage 44 has alogo 45. Theselogos - The
multi-pack wrapper 32 is preferably a plastic film, and more preferably a thermoplastic film with the thermoplastic being either a monolayer or a laminate Useful monolayer or laminate thermoplastic materials include polyethylenes and ethylene copolymers, polypropylenes and propylene copolymers, polyethylene terephthalates, vinyl polymers and copolymers and acrylic polymers and copolymers. The laminates include thermoplastic/paper laminates. A useful thermoplastic is biaxially oriented polypropylene. The invention is not limited to a plastic as thewrapper 32 material and thewrapper 32 material may be a paper over-wrap or other material. In addition, the over-wrap can fully enclose the multi-pack 30 as is shown inFIG. 4 or it can be a band enclosing the lateral sides but with the ends open. - In embodiments where the
wrapper 32 material is a plastic film, it will preferably have a gram weight/square meter (gsm) of about 15 gsm to about 75 gsm. Thecarton 40 material will have a thickness of about 300 microns to about 600 microns. Thefilm wrapper 32 material preferably will be a shrink wrap material. However, it can be in the form of a band which will laterally enclose the soap bars but leave the ends open. This will allow the customer to detect the product fragrance prior to purchase. - The
multi-pack 30 can be used for many different products. However, it is useful in the marketing of soap bars. Although only threepackages multi-pack 30 will have between 2 and 20 packages of individually packaged products. Of course, themulti-packs 30 are useful for products other than soap bars. Additionally, although only one column ofpackages multi-pack 30 may comprise more than one column of packages.
